Your tone is perfectly fine and you made very good points, thank you for the information.

I'm not insulting anybody. I'm simply stating the fact that it's smart to wear a helmet, because if you hit your head on the ground, you could die. That's all.
Walking down the stairs is less dangerous than biking and you know it.
You make some good points.
I still wear one, but I don’t judge people who choose not to.
I don't wear one and I judge myself for not doing so 🤷
Complicated issue.
Could be even lower if they wore helmets though. I don't even wear a helmet myself, but it's objectively smart to do so.
My friend got something caught in his front wheel and went over the handlebars at 20mph. Could have been turned into a vegetable if he wasn't wearing a helmet.
Not really. Lemmy is filled with skeptics, rebels, and independent thinkers, and there are only like 50,000 monthly active users.
You know what's a much better target for propaganda? Reddit or any corporate social media site. The users are simpleminded and easily manipulated and you don't even have to worry about moderators, you can just pay to run ads.
Lemm.ee is actually bigger in terms of userbase now. And SJW is about the same size. But .ml still hosts a lot more communities so I guess that also counts for something
Why not provide it to everyone else?
Anytime I see a ~~trash~~ post that’s where it comes from 9/10.
It's 40% of the whole Lemmy userbase and activity. They've got their fair share of trolls but come on, the worst? Have you forgotten about redditors?
It's hard to be the biggest, and I think their admins are doing a pretty good job.
I saw a fellow mod outright nazi-ing about ( not “saying things I disagree with” but actual nazi fanboy-ing)
A claim like this typically requires evidence.
Same dude. But you make me look like a God damned casual 😅
Someone needs to make a leaderboard for the most active Lemmy users, that'd be really entertaining
What a time to be alive
I dunno what that guy was thinking, but it seems obvious to me that nuclear fusion is the long term solution for energy generation.
Nuclear fission not so much, but it's definitely debatable which has more fundamental flaws between fission and wind/hydro/solar. All renewable energy sources ultimately depend on natural processes which are not reliable or permanent. And they also tend to disrupt the environment to some extent.
Nuclear fission has no such limitations, but instead trades long term risk for short term stability. Basically renewable sources are and always will be somewhat unreliable, and Nuclear fission is the least bad reliable energy source to pair with the renewables. So in the medium term, fission makes a lot more sense than fossil fuels, and in the long term we should be looking to fusion.
